RE: Why aren't all the elderly accepting of new technology?

I guess they are adapting. But it is taking them way longer because their education and environment didn’t run around such things. I belong to a third world country. My mother’s favourite passtime is watching you tube , she keeps learning new recipes and crochet. It has been 3 years since she owns a smartphone, but she still doesn’t know how to type messages. I have tried helping her many times. But she never uses that feature. Lol. She rarely types, may be just on YouTube only a word or two.
